Hi just was wondering what stats ppl have on the puncture to mile
I've done 912 miles and had 3 punctures and one crash
I'm sure there is some ppl out there with some good stats

No punctures in approx 12mths of running tubeless
have gone over the bars more times in this past year than all previous years put together

If you're not crashing you're not trying hard enough

Punctures, in the last year half a dozen, maybe more, but I run my pressures very low and have ridden in a couple of places that have sliced my tyres to bits, infact both tyres on the xc bike are currently held together with duct tape

No punctures for a couple of years. I don't count miles.

2044 miles puncture free on my commuter bike and I've only had a handful of punctures on my mountain bike.

Done okay for punctures this year. 1,413 miles since new year and only 4 punctures. Unfortunately they happened in one ride, ran out of inner tubes.

Haven't had any since I started using a hutchinson anti puncture reinforced tube on the rear (never get them on the front).......apart from today where really bad judgement cost me a ludicrous pinch flat of spactacular proportions.

One puncture today at Cragg Quarry, and my mini pump died so a massive walk back to the car park.

Everyone above is now jinxed for their next ride! I've ridden about 900 miles the last year, and I rotate 3 inner tubes (2 in, 1 spare). Each tube has about 5 patches in it but at least i've had a lot of good practise changing them! I haven't crashed and injured myself but I regularly fall off, I always looked at it as part of the sport. My last off was due to the bolt holding my rear mech cable loosening and the cable slipping through it. I had to hang my bike from a tree and reindex the gears. Dead chuffed I could do it after using the how-to on parktools a few days before.

Mcnultycop ha yes I see your post must say massive fail there lol. I have thought about the tubeless route but have herd to many horror stories ie burping to much hassle setting up and at the end of the year won't ya bike have every thin imaginable hang out the tyres ? As it will just stick in as the sealant will fix the puncture?

Well over 5000 miles since last puncture. About 1000 since last crash.

MDobs

Lost count on punctures, 5 in 2 laps of cragg quarry. Various offs but nothing too bad.

sigorman85

Some ppl are unlucky by looks of things lol 5 in 2 laps lol

Around 1600 miles on mtb. Around 6 punctures. Lots of minor falls and step offs two proper crashes

I managed to go 2 years without getting a puncture in Austria, which i'd consider decent seeing as how thorny our area was.
